I did that. (And that.)

So that sums up my meager accomplishments for the day. More impressive are my sister's; she had her first full day in the classroom of D75 kids:

District 75 provides citywide educational, vocational, and behavior support programs for students who are on the autism spectrum, severely emotionally challenged, and/or multiply disabled.

She had to 'familiarize herself with the injury compensation forms' and was given lots of scary warnings about how the kids may, and probably will, try to hurt her and she's not allowed to defend herself, just to get out of the way.

It's frightening. My sis is 5-foot-zero and weighs about 100 pounds. These are 16-year-old kids, some of whom are bigger than she is, and emotionally disturbed, and unpredictable. She's going to teach them cooking. In a kitchen. With knives.

I'm proud of her, though. She's muddled and unsettled and unsure now, but it's day one. I think she's going to be brilliant at this, I raelly do.
